Combinations of Numbers amongst Magnetic Sticks

What an exciting calendar week for dorsum to school!  A few weeks ago, I wrote most making magnetic counting strips and using newspaper clips to create a diversity of early on numeracy activities.  That post service has been super pop in addition to shared many, many times!  As I hold to revisit ideas from Teach Like a Pirate my inventiveness has been bully in addition to I conduct hold actually been trying to intend exterior the box. Today I desire to percentage amongst y'all how I conduct hold taken the same sticks in addition to gone to the side past times side flat for mathematical thinking in addition to worked amongst combinations of numbers.  

Here are the master copy counting sticks.  You tin meet how I used them, what materials I used in addition to discovery directions for making these here.  

So hither is the difference.  I made the sticks precisely the same means but instead of making the numbers 1-9, I made the numbers from 5-10.  For each number, I made at to the lowest degree iii sticks.  I nonetheless had enough of colored sticks left from my box of 500 in addition to I grabbed approximately other pack of the glittery foam numbers from the Dollar Tree.  Instead of using silvery newspaper clips, I ordered approximately new colored newspaper clips specifically for this project.  They are coated inwards plastic but nonetheless are metallic underneath in addition to stick to the magnetic strips but fine.

After sorting the newspaper clips past times color, I position ii colors inwards each handbag amongst the sticks for that number.  Obviously the sticks that tell 10 involve to a greater extent than newspaper clips inwards the handbag than the sticks that tell 5.  

I shop the 3-5 sticks inwards the handbag amongst the paperclips in addition to straight off I conduct hold them gear upwards to become for intervention or for workstations during Guided Math rotations.  

Kids tin but dump the handbag out in addition to larn to work.  Since nosotros are at the maiden of all of the schoolhouse year, these are bully to move amongst maiden of all in addition to minute graders correct now.  I may brand a laid afterward this twelvemonth for Kindergarten kids in addition to volition likely brand that laid amongst numbers from 3-10.

For kids who are ready, y'all tin brand a elementary recording canvas using a slice of chip newspaper or a viscid depository fiscal establishment notation where they tape the equations that become amongst the newspaper clips.

What is your favorite means to piece of employment on combinations of numbers?
